PRESCHOOLER's Inquiry about Food Choices




As part of the Preschooler's wonderings about CHOICES, they did a survey to find out DSKI Grade 1-6 student's food choices.

 

They worked with a partner and and wrote tally marks to represent each count.

 

Then, they filled in the bar graph to visually represent and compare things between the food groups. 
Note: Might not be the actual numbers but for preschooler's survey purpose only.

We put together the results and they found out that....
  • A lot of DSKI students like fruits
  • Students like dairy because some are sweet
  • The least favourite food group is vegetables
  • No one in grade 3 likes vegetables

To gain a deeper understanding on the importance of the different food groups, they also played a game "What's on my Plate?. This activity helped them understand what a balanced and healthy meal looks like. 

 

Finally, the preschoolers were given the task to decide and choose their own healthy and balanced meal by filling in their own "What's on my Plate" chart.

 

 

 

 


It would be great if they will prepare the meal and try it out with the whole family at home! 

Finally, this month Preschooler's hosted the School Assembly and here is their video connected to our Unit on Choices. Enjoy!!

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention.  A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways.  They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life.  This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and   mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others.  In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined.  Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it.  Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on  how we express ourselves,  preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
